WILMINGTON, Del., Feb. 14, 2012 – Several leading DuPont materials science businesses joined forces at the National Plastics Expo in Orlando, April 1-5, 2012, to showcase sustainable solutions that deliver performance.

DuPont plastics, packaging, polymer modifiers and the bio-based ingredients, business resulting from the recent acquisition of Danisco, highlighted materials science and design techniques that can be used to deliver performance and sustainability. They also featured recent commercial developments to stimulate new ideas and invite customers to hear more about new and emerging globally linked customer innovation centers designed to help accelerate product development cycles and improve success.

MATERIALS SCIENCE: Renewable Ingredients, Polymer Modifiers

DuPont Polymer Additive group, formerly part of Danisco, features SOFT-N-SAFE™, the world's foremost bio-based plasticizer which enables PVC customers to utilize safe chemistry in an environmentally responsible fashion. The group also introduced a fully food-grade approved anti-stat replacement for ethoxylated amines for polypropylene films during the science and technology talk. These bio-based additive families deliver performance benefits ranging from flexibility to anti-stat and anti-fog.

Additionally, DuPont featured examples of polymer modifiers used to improve performance, sustainability and reduce overall costs:
